7A1–58 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

DTC P0748 Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) (Force Motor) Circuit Electrical

D07R200009

Circuit Description

The PCS is a PCM–controlled device used to regulate
transmission line pressure. The PCM compares TPS
voltage, engine rpm, and other inputs to determine the
line pressure appropriate for a given load. The PCM will
regulate the pressure by applying a varying amperage to
the PCS. The applied amperage can vary from 70 to 1060
milliampere (mA), and is monitored by the PCM.
This DTC detects a continuous open or short to ground in
the PCS circuit or the PCS. This is a type “C” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

Battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts.

The PCM detects that the different between
commanded and actual current is 200 milliampere
(mA) for over 1 second.

Engine speed is greater than 300 rpm.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).

Maximum line pressure.

The PCM will illuminate the CHECK TRANS Lamp.

Turn Force Motor OFF (Durability).

Conditions For Clearing The DTC/CHECK
TRANS Lamp

The PCM will turn “off” the CHECK TRANS Lamp
after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

The DTC can be cleared from PCM history by using a
scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from memory when the
vehicle has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a
failure reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM and at the transmission 4–way connector. Look
for possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged
terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the

step numbers on the

diagnostic chart:
2. This test checks the ability of the PCM to command

the PCS.

3. This test checks the PCS and internal wiring harness

for incorrect resistance.

DTC P0751 Shift Solenoid A Performance (Stuck Off)

D07RT011

Circuit Description

The shift solenoid A is used to control fluid flow acting on
the 1–2 and 3–4 shift valves. The solenoid is a normally
close exhaust valve that is used with the shift solenoid B
to allow four different shifting combinations.
The DTC detects when there is only a 1–1–4–4 shift
pattern depending on the state of the mechanical failure
instead of a 1–2–3–4 shift pattern. This is a type “B” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

No ETC DTCs.

No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.

No TCC solenoid DTCs P0742, P1860, P1870.

No shift solenoid A DTC P0753.

No shift solenoid B DTC P0758.

Gear range is D4.

Transmission temperature is between 20

and 130

(68

and 266

F).

Output speed is greater than 375 rpm.

No range code P0705, P0706.

No torque code (to be confirmed).

Engine run for more 0 seconds and not influed cut-off
(to be confirmed).

All the above conditions have been met and the
combination of conditions 1, 2 occur two consecutive

Conditions For Clearing The The MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Verify that the transmission meets the specifications
in the 4L30–E shift speed chart.

Other internal transmission failures may cause more
than one shift to occur.
